If you want to restrict access to a specific folder (e.g., <code>\/public_html\/images<\/code>), define it here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Password<\/strong>: Enter and confirm a strong password for the account. Use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters to enhance security.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Permissions<\/strong>: Decide the level of access the FTP account should have.

If your server uses a different port, consult your hosting provider.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connect to the server.
